Gronkowski told Patriots.com yesterday that he shed the cast on his broken left forearm, about four and a half weeks after his Jan. 14 surgery. Gronkowski said during the week leading up to the Super Bowl that his recovery timetable would be similar to the first time he broke his arm, which was initially 4-6 weeks. He missed five games with that injury and hit the field six weeks after going down. Of course, there's much less of a need to rush back this time around.

Gronkowski also addressed the latest headlines he has created.

"I've just been living my life how I have been -- with my family, with my friends -- since I was a young kid," Gronkowski said. "I appreciate everyone's support of me. Just worrying about my arm, just making sure I'm 100 percent healthy, which I totally agree because I definitely want to be 100 percent healthy. I love playing the game of football. I love the game of football. To this day, I always wonder, without sports where would I be? I just have to appreciate that and just watch out, totally be careful out there, and get my forearm 100 percent and get my body healthy so when next season rolls around, I'm ready to go."
